Secretary Bird
One of the most uniquely named bird. Its common name is popularly thought to derive from the crest of long quill-like feathers, lending the bird the appearance of a secretary with quill pens tucked behind his or her ear, as was once common practice. Had managed to spot this bird quite a few times, but only once did we manage to see them in a pose which kind of justifies its name. Its not a very good image but the name justifying pose made me share this.
